What is the best way to do the above thinking the WL Wilson crimp remover and Wilson trimmer. I know Dillon makes one but that is $300 vs $150 for the first option. RCBS also has a trimmer and primer crimp remover. The brass is LCC 11. Thanks Joe

I snagged a carbide chamfer tool from a machine shop here in town, and I chuck it up in my DeWalt and go to town....It was used to chamfer the hole after the CNC taps it, I think it was for a 5/16 hole, they run about 7 bucks I think.

If you are good with cheap and effective, I bought a CTS case trimmer, I built a motor and stand setup for it, but still end up with it on the end of my DeWalt most of the time, as my motor runs a little quicker than I like..

That's got contact info on it.

They work.

I have a Wilson trimmer, it sucks. You want it, I'll sell it to you for 100 off retail, and I'll be friggin thrilled.

Removing the crimp, I use the Lyman 50 BMG deburring tool. For trimming I use my Giraud trimmer.
